Wesley,
Everyone asks, why doesn't my NWN2 look like yours; then I clue them in. Great work It makes the game so cool. Thanks! _________________________ "You take a look around and you see that the law is there only to protect power. You'll see plenty of law but what you won't see is any justice."

Simple but brilliant. If only it would work with multiple pictures that get selected at random...

Art 2 & 3 would be better with a lot softer water effect, I think. Or even no effect at all, I don't know.

The first one is original Obsidian art for nwn2, you can even find it on this site. Yes I'm planning to add more backgrounds in the future.

This is one of those great ideas. Very smart. Makes a big difference. I hope you add more pictures over time. Did you do the art? If not, it would be nice to know the source. _________________________ E.C.Patterson Gaming Parents Studios

Excuse me for the stupid question, english is not my first language and I'm afraid I didn't get it... should I extract this on the folder we choose to install the game, or in the other folder (where the portrait folder is, for example)?

I see from your DarkRed UI that you have done this stuff before, I think the expression is "great minds think alike" ;) I find getting some feedback always makes me think of ways to improve something, it was on the suggestion of another member that I hunted around to find and replace the menu music as well.
I like your solution for making it work with all three games, a bigger download but no messing around with renaming. I use the same method with my NWN2 mod so it works with MotB and SoZ - great minds...
Posted by darthsabe at 2009-03-17 10:36:35 Voted 9.00 on 01/31/10
I've updated the mod, so now you wont have to rename anything for it to work without SoZ or MotB.
2naranekangmar:
I've seen your restoration of original menu images and maybe it gave me the push to do this mod, but I had this idea to change backgrounds for a long time, but only recently decided to look for good replacement art for backgrounds, found the first one and thought it was really cool, so I edited it to fit character creation screen better, the other two I made myself from screenshots, not as good as the first one, but still better than original.

I've always felt that the dark blurry background was a bit depressing, especially the character creation screen. Thanks to you, I can change this right away instead of having to wait for me take the time to drill inside the UI matter.
So, thank you !
You should add the recommendations of narenek below. I would add that people also need to remove "_X2" / "_X1" from the "generic" folder.
Maybe the next step would be to change the lighting on the characters to something more daylight style, but it's certainly fairly more complicated, and even probably hardcoded, so...
Posted by naranekangmar at 2009-03-17 00:00:23 Voted 9.00 on 03/17/09
Sorry, just re-read your install instructions, putting it anywhere in MY DOCUMENTS\Neverwinter Nights 2 does of course mean it is easy to remove.
If you only have NWN2 and want this to work, rename main_sub_bg_nx2.tga to main_sub_bg.tga
If you have NWN2+MotB rename main_sub_bg_nx2.tga to main_sub_bg_nx1.tga
Posted by naranekangmar at 2009-03-16 23:35:37 Voted 9.00 on 03/17/09
Interesting this should come out days after I released the files to restore the original NWN menus. If it was based on that then I am pleased to see this creativity coming from my work, I especially like the way background 1 looks on the character creation screen.
I will point out this only works if you have SoZ (so you should probably change the NWN2Game: All to SoZ) and that if you copy the file main_sub_bg_nx2.tga from the archive into your override folder instead you can easily restore the original SoZ background by removing the file from your override folder.
